Happy Slapping Hits London
The windows are steamed up, streaming the condensed exhaled breath of all and sundry, including the alcoholic who's presently drooling on your new coat. You finally pull into a station. You are at breaking point; your teeth are gritted and there is some serious pulsing action on the old temple veins.
All in all, a pretty normal day on the Tube, right?
Now imagine some chavvy little git walks up and slaps you across the face, all the while being filmed by his reprobate chum on his new camera phone. You've been "happy slapped". More than likely, before you know it you are the subject of much tweenie merriment.
People, this has arrived in London. All we here at Londonist can say is, it's only a matter of time before we see the first retaliatory lynching. Surely this is what the temporary insanity plea was invented for. Right?

I blogged this a while back (playground crazes: happy slap tv), and consequently got plagued by comments from idiot kids...

That`s because in england is a bit diferent than USA or Brazil, if a stupid guy like those tried to slap someone, soon or later he would get a bullet in the head.
if these kids little thugs wanna try 'slap' or play-play fools with me, be it on the train, bus or street then one of them is gonna get knocked out with a hardcore vicious punch!! some one has to learn and people need to stand up for themselves more. dont be cowards and they will get the picture that it is not on..
if anyone ever did that to me they'd wish they were dead. Who do they think they are? They've got no right to touch anyone else they dont know, never mind to slap them. Im only 13 and I think it's sad that other kidds my age and older think they can go around doing what they want, and thinking they own everyone. They piss me off.
I'm doing a graphic design degree, and have set myself a brief called "the kids aren't alright" in which I am studying the decline of behaviour in todays youth culture.
If anyone has any good links relating to the happy slapping problems, or any other sources for information on my subject, feel free to email me or post back on this site.
Cheers guys
Biking home from work the other day I passed a gang of teens who shouted abuse and one of the smaller ones ran up and swung a punch at me. If I'd got off the bike I would have had the other 15 on me. Between me and the little cocky bloke, he'd lose badly but then if he hadn't been with all the others, he wouldn't have been so ballsy in the first place.
I am seriously hoping to be targeted by these idiots so that I can beat/crush/impale/pummel the living snot out of one or all of them. And if I should be surrounded by (15?) as the previous post said, then the key is to take on one person only, usually the "leader" and be sure not to spread your focus to the others no matter if you are being kicked or punched, and then just concentrate on reducing that single person to a barely recognizable state. That's the only way to handle this situation; match force with force.
